Thanks to all of you for your suggestions and good wishes! I have a room of my own only because the kids are grown & gone and our house is too big for just two people. I had to take over the bedroom or leave it empty (couldn't do that!). I am happy to have the space for myself, but if the housing market was better, we'd be downsizing, too! DH is talking about retiring soon and I have to have a place to hide! LOL
